loved this picture except I think with such captivating eyes a more into the lens or forward glance would be more inviting.

I really like the idea behind this shot, but it appears (to me) that it was squished. I don't know if it's the angle, my monitor, my eyes or what but it looks like the vertical aspect has been squished down. I could be wrong, but that's how I see the image.

EDIT: I've looked at this on another monitor and the squishiness referred above was specific to the other computer. On this one I don't notice it. Sorry. Now that I see it on this monitor it is great.

7 - Very nice image - lighting, model, make up, clothing, hand pose, glance, eyes, hair - especially with the natural sunlight. I like the flower elements too, very nice and feminine, without (apparent) softening too, which works well. Biggest issue for me is the overall balance and cropping. Either both shoulders in and more space (obviously) to the right) else a slightly tighter crop on the left.

Great portrait. The back light from the sun is very dramatic. She is lost in her thoughts, despite the flowering plant.

Nice portrait. The B&W works well for this.

I think this is the crying girl from the portrait challenge. For me this is a better shot.
